A Soft Place to Land ~ Honouring the AncestorsShamanic Soul Healing, Cacao, & Sound Bath

Saturday, Nov 3, 2018 ~ 7:00pm - 10:00pm

We all need a soft place to land right? Now is a great time to register for this Saturday's circle.Our evening will celebrate this season of Samhain and include warm ceremonial Cacao, sound medicine, and a guided Imramma to the Land of our Ancestors.

In the old Celtic tradition it is said that the energy cauldron in the belly (aka Dantien, Hara, Swadhisthana) is in part nourished by cultural tradition, and in turn, nurtures our physical well-being and strength

Knowing our ancestral lineages means we know where we come from, and we know who we are. This makes it much easier to know where we are going especially as we acknowledge, heal and inherit the gifts and wisdom handed down to us.

Our evening will celebrate this season of Samhain and include warm Ceremonial Cacao to open our hearts, Sound Medicine including gongs, singing bowls, steel tongue drums, and soul song transmissions, and a guided Shamanic Imramma to the Land of our Ancestors.

Come along and experience a beautiful way to reattune to love,bring compassion and healing to your ancestral lineages, and open your heart and vision.

You will return home feeling spacious, peaceful and reconnected to your Heart.

Please dress in comfortable layers and bring:*A water bottle*Your favorite cup for warm Cacao Elixir (1.5cups)*Blanket and cushion for comfort*Journal and pen*Bandanna/eye covering*Medicine Hearth or Mesa (if you have)*Ear plugs (if you have sensitive ears)*Pics of your peoples(family, friends, animal companions, land)who have trans-formed and would love to be honoured

***Cacao is most supportive on an empty stomach. Have a nourishing meal earlier in the day, and then a very small snack about an hour before our gathering. ***PLEASE NOTE – in order to have a refined communion with the sacred plant medicine of Cacao, we strongly suggest you refrain from dairy, caffeine, alcohol, marijuana, recreational drugs, etc.
